1- and 220 film backings for shot Porta and Fuji film

[karl_fermedfor]

<p>I don't have a digital camera to do this myself, but does anyone have photos or links to photos of what the backing papers of the current Portra III, Portra II, Fuji Pro 1- and 220 films look like?</p>

<p>The guy at the lab was insistant that Kodak film is yellow (even though that it is not unless it is unexposed). I submitted a bag of four rolls, and one or two need a push and I couldn't describe to him in a conversation with him believing me what the colors were :-/</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Backing paper is always black and 220 film doesn't have any...</p>

<p>The paper at the end of the roll is what I am talking about so I can identify which roll(s) need to be pushed by describing the type of film and the color of the backing paper</p>

<p>(One, older roll of Portra 400NC (the first improvement) doesn't need a push. The second, newer roll MAY need one.)</p>

<p>Anyway, when I told the guy what color the paper was, he said "No, all Kodak is gold colored you must be thinking of Fuji." <br /> <br /> So I want to shoot him a picture so he will see what I am talking about. . .</p>

<p>I've already checked online and there are only photos of unoped or unshot 1- and 220 film available there.</p>

<p>Actually all the Kodak 120 film I've shot recently has had either grey and white (for B&W) or blue and white (E-6) backing paper at the end of the roll.</p>

<p>Doesn't the Fuji stuff have the type of film written on the paper band?</p>

<p>And regardless of the outcome here I hope the lesson in this is noticeable - write your process instructions <em>on the film</em> to which they refer.</p>

<p>Doesn't Fuji have a hole near the end of the backing to hook into the take up spool that Kodak doesn't?</p>

<p>The last batch of film I developed was chrome, so that's the only paper I had laying around, but this is how Fuji does it. There is no mistake of what it is, and what process is needed. The self-stick sealing tape strip has the exact film type printed in bold letters on the side showing when the roll is sealed after removing it from the camera.<br>

<p>220 film only has backing paper at the beginning and the end of the roll so you don't expose it when you load and unload it, the film in between is naked, that's how they get twice as much film on the same size spool.</p>
